Spectacular views of Chicago on clear days. Stand out on the plexiglass deck 100+ stories above the ground for a photo of a lifetime. Be forewarned that there are usually very long lines on weekends.

If it is a nice day you should check out the Chicago Architecture Tours. There are many walking tours which are great but the 90 minute boat tour on the river is something I highly recommend.
